Neil Subwax (wundawend29) - he's selling again!

[pickle]

I can never understand why a VDC Freestyler makes such big money? to look at I think it's a really ugly frameset and is up there wth the ugliest Freestyers ever made in my opinion.

agree totally

[BMX1973]

Happened again to me on three separate items. One of them my bid was withdrawn. Don't know why as it's still listed. Sent a message as to why and got ignored. I don't think I will be making a bid on anything else.

I just had my bid on one of the items beaten and then immediately retracted. If that's not somebody looking at what I've bid I don't know what is!

Just happened AGAIN on a different item.

This is a fooking joke!

[snoopy72]

I had the same happen on a beartrap headset he was selling, ignores all messages.
Waste of time,  I just  MOVE ON as soon as I see the item location Hayling Island

No, the ugliest freestyler is s a CW Freestyler, or maybe not! This all in eye of the beholder. I have a VDC Freestyler and there's lots of differences between the F+F sets, and some of them do look awful. As a frame set their not as easy on the eye as a GT pro performer or a Haro Master. Have a butchers at this VDC Freestyler entry to May BOTM:

That's a very good looking bike.

IMO the ugly ones are the ones that the twin bottom tubes pass through the head tube and have the caps on the end. I think the value that people place upon them is due to their rarity more than anything else - I think a GT Pro Performer is beautiful but they don't attract anything like a compatible price because there's loads of them.

[bodamus]

I see what your saying I know there are different versions the one with the two tubes piercing the headtube just lookks awful reminds me of an insect or bug of some sort. Dilybums build is quality nice parts just think the Frames are awful but each to there own if we all liked the same thing it would be boring.

A Kuwhara Exhibitionist 1st Gen Frameset thats a thing of beauty

[In2bmx]

I've had some nice parts off him in the past , but he's hard to deal with !!

agree with that ...

[Andy68]

Not even original & more to the point it's fooking PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

I really like them. And i love pink.

[In2bmx]

I really like them. And i love pink.

brown is the new pink  Haha ... 

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

Always a dilemma. To sink the pink or the brown....

[20to26]

I've bought some stuff off Neil's auctions & got them at fair prices, and been in contact with him before - never had any issues. But I can imagine he gets a shed load of queries about all that stuff. I sell stuff on eBay and get the strangest emails from 'buyers'... Many eBayers don't respond to messages so it's not an isolated seller. If you want something just buy it - his goods are good as anyone whose bought from him will tell you.

I have to agree Ian, and the second generation Freestyler's are hideous, like they are just thrown together. And what's with the spilt crank arms 

Nothing beautiful about VDC at all.

A Kuwahara Exhibitionist 1st Gen Frameset, that's a thing of beauty

If not THE best looking early 80's Freestyler ever made 

[That Swan Guy]

And now, as on previous items where I've been outbid then the bid retracted, the current bid is just under my maximum bid.
Got sneaked up overnight!

Nothing fishy you say!

[boofy44]

I've won a few things off him at decent prices so I certainly don't think he
is shilling his own items.

[griff]

With eBay you have 2 choices
Snipe bid at the last fookin moment & hope the listing doesn't end early
Bid early and hope the listing doesn't get shilled to fook

In both cases though I just make sure I stick to my max bid

[stidds]

He is a wank stain on the face of BMX it wouldn't shock me if he was bidding his own items up.

[BMX1973]

I tend to put one bid in, but why would he withdraw bids and keep it listed?

[Tel-boy75]

I tend to put one bid in, but why would he withdraw bids and keep it listed?

Using another account to find out someone's top bid, withdrawing and then using a third account to bid upto the original bidders maximum, therefore increasing price.

Should be reported if happening regularly on his auctions

A fishy called wunda !

[BMX1973]

See what your saying about finding out what a top bid is. 
But on one of the items my bid itself was withdrawn and it remained listed!

I'm now banned from bidding on his shit because I proved he was shilling

[BMX1973]

  Have you reported it?

plus other stuff 

Did anyone actually bid / win / felt they got shilled? After the commotion, it'd be good to get the verdict from those involved?

[That Swan Guy]

Yes

I bid my high bid.
I was winning at half the value of my bid.
I was overbid.
That bid was retracted immediately.
I was bid up to my maximum but not over it.
I retracted my bid late at night.
Overnight the bid that pushed me up was winning.
In the morning that bid was retracted and it dropped significantly in winning bid value.

Fishier than a Grimsby trawler!
